My mate has just called to say his B7 A4 2.0TDI has just crapped itself, sounds horrendous and the oil light and oil pressure lights are on.....

I know petrol VAG engines suffer from coil pack failures, do diesels? What could it be? He has to wait 2 hours for RAC to turn up.....

It's a 2007 model car. 169144-ok.gif

For coil packs, you need spark plugs, and I'm surprised if you didn't know that diesels don't have spark plugs grin.gif

It the oil pump has failed or there's a blockage somewhere, which has caused the pressure to drop, there could be alsorts of internal damage. How long did he drive it for/has he tried to run the engine?

I know absolutely nothing about diesel engines!! grin.gif

I think he pulled in pretty much straight away when it started chugging and making horrible noises....sounded pretty bad so I think he's expecting the worst. It's not even a year old yet so Audi warranty should cover it unless he did run it below minimum oil level. shocked.gif

I'll let you know what the result is. 169144-ok.gif

I'm off to read 'Engines for Dummies'. grin.gif
